2014 F150 ecoboost V6 - engine shudders and stalls upon rapid acceleration; issue has been addressed with "deflector shield" but this shield is already in place in my vehicle but the vehicle continues to have this issue - I feel the vehicle is unsafe but Ford offers no assistance with resolution of the issue.
Was traveling behind two vehicle doing approximately 50 mph in a 75. Went to pass and pressed the accelerator, and nothing happened. The vehicle starting shuddering, and stalled as I pulled along side the first vehicle. I let off the accelerator and attempted it again, still nothing. With loss of power, I had to move towards the shoulder since over taking the vehicle was impossible. The lasted for approximately 10 seconds, during which the check engine was flashing. Approximately 2 months prior, it happened while driving to dallas, but not to this extent. Weather condition for both incident was heavy rain, and I had been driving in rain for several hours. Engine code showed P0306 for cyl 6 misfire.
While going up a steep incline, I went off of the gas to slow down as I was approaching a corner. When I got to the corner, I attempted to turn and realized I didn't have any power steering. When I looked at the gauges, low oil pressure was displayed on the dashboard and the engine was no longer running. The truck did restart and I was able to drive away. Ford is stating that since there weren't any codes, there is nothing they could do. This is a very dangerous situation and could potentially cause an accident.
